Within a dozen of years, James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Tim Goldsworthy and Jonathan Galkin have gathered together an interesting bunch of talented artists hailing from rock and electro (with the likes of The Rapture, YACHT, Holy Ghost, Shit Robot, The Juan McLean, Benoit & Sergio, Hercules & Love Affair, Hot Chip…), offering a very efficient balance of inspirations!

Then it is not a surprise that Australian multi-instrumentalist Surahn Sidhu(former bassist of The Swiss and a member of Empire of The Sun) released his first EP (eponymous title) on the label in late 2012.

Here above is the retro nostalgic video for his hit single « Watching the World » .

You can download the 5-track EP from iTunes, or wait until February 18th to get the legendary Prins Thomas‘ remixes EP.

Their album « In the Grace of Your Love » release just a year ago has been a huge success, notably with their hit single « How Deep Is your Love ». But what is particularly interesting with the rock played by The Rapture, it’s its ability to be remixed.

Their label, DFA (LCD Soundsystem, Holy Ghost!, Cut Copy, …), released another remix EP, for the track « Children » , with on the remix duty Darkstarr, Lopazz and Jonathan Kreinik aka…AKA JK. It’s the hypnotical remix of the latter that we prefer and would like to share with you.

…this is the proposal of Dan Bodan, newcomer on American label DFA (label of those like The Rapture, Benoit & Sergio or YACHT).

The Canadian-born, now Berlin-based, singer delivers with « DP » an addictive wistful ballad, as you will experience it with the video above.
For those who were trying to guess, you can hear the voice of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze at the end of the track!

The EP will be release on August 20, with among others a remix by Finnish duo Rennaissance Man.
